It’s July and we’ve reached the halfway mark for summer. If you’re running out of the ideas to keep the kids busy with a smile on their faces, don’t forget the abundance of fun waiting for you at Indy Parks!

At Indy Parks we are continuing our 100 Year Celebration to recognize the vision and history of the George E. Kessler Park and Boulevard System, which developed the amazing green space families across Marion County enjoy today. The celebration has provided adventurous challenges, exciting events and special programs to mark this significant achievement.

Our Take the Challenge - 100 miles, 100 parks, 100 years - is in full swing. Join one the best and most exciting family adventures to explore the vast parks throughout the city. Register and then download the challenge worksheet from our website, www.indyparks.org, or pick one up at any Indy Parks facility. Every challenge is fun so be prepared to laugh and learn together. And remember, there’s a special prize waiting for you after completion.

“We have really enjoyed taking this Challenge. We are in our 60s and have five grandchildren so this was a fun family experience. I was born in Indianapolis and grew up using the City parks—what memories this provided me! My husband lived in LaGrange, so he went to neighborhoods he hadn’t seen before. This was a lot of fun!” said Waureen Bontrager from Indianapolis.
